Availability: In Stock
Manufacturer: Cipla

Simvastatin, sold as Zocor, is classified as a hypolipidemic drug, meaning it is effective in the treatment of high cholesterol levels. It is manufactured by Merk & Co.’s Canadian subsidary, Merk Sharp & Dohme, and was approved for use by the FDA in 1991. It is primarily used for treating cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia (high blood cholesterol), when weight reduction, diet, and exercise are insufficient.

New research on Simvastatin has revealed other beneficial purposes for the drug. Recent studies suggest that Simvastatin may reduce the risk of some cancers, although conclusive results have yet to be reached. Further research is being conducted on the possibility that Simvastatin may indeed be able to reduce the risk of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and kidney inflammation. It may also assist in strengthening the bones of people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis.

Simvastatin is administered orally in the form of 5mg, 10mg, 20mg, 40mg, and 80mg film-coated tablets. Simvastatin 20mg is generally prescribed as the initial dose, with weekly dosage adjustments following. It should be taken once daily in the evening with water or, if needed, food. Patients who are taking Simvastatin 20mg are usually advised of the following:

• •Do not skip any doses. Simvastatin should be taken continually, even when symptoms have been alleviated.
• •If a dose is missed accidentally, it should be taken as soon as possible, but 2 doses should never be taken at once.
• •Eating grapefruits or drinking grapefruit juice could increase the risk of serious side effects, as it increases the amount of Simvastatin that remains in the blood.

For patients who are prescribed Simvastatin, it is only one contributor in lowering their cholesterol. There must be an entire lifestyle adjustment, including a healthy diet and regular exercise regimen. When taken in addition to these changes, Simvastatin can yield exceptional benefits.
